Since the negotiations between China and Russia were conducted in secret, Molotov also came to the Far East in a very low-key manner and kept it as secret as possible. Fengjun sent Gu Weijun to negotiate on behalf of the two sides, and the place chosen by the two sides for negotiations was Borja.

Borja had just been battered by the fire of war, but when Molotov arrived, he was greatly shocked by what he saw. About half of the city is still in ruins, but the other half has a large number of buildings, and countless workers are busy recovering the city.

Roads, railways, postal services, and electricity have all been restored, and the speed at which construction is being carried out while fighting a war is really astonishing. Destroying a shijie is shocking, but reshaping a shijie is even more shocking. In particular, the ability to build represents a country's industrial potential, and if the Feng army can do this, it shows that the Feng army has entered the threshold of industrialization and is a strong opponent.

Although he felt shocked in his heart, he was still unwilling to lower his posture, so as soon as they met, he said to Gu Weijun: "We have come to the Far East with the sincerity of the peace talks, and I hope that the Chinese side will also show enough sincerity." ”

"Mr. Molotov, how do you want us to show our sincerity?"

"An immediate ceasefire, of course, to return Aginskoye's troops to Russia, and at the same time to release all prisoners of war before negotiations can take place!"

Gu Weijun smiled and nodded: "It's a guest from afar, since we have made this request, we will consider it carefully." ”

When Molotov heard this, he frowned, he was just asking for a sky-high price, and it was really strange that the other party did not refute it at all.

At this time, Gu Weijun smiled again and said: "Mr. Molotov, this kind of big thing must be approved by the high command, and it must be coordinated with the front line. It will take at least 10 days for approval. Let me remind you that the city of Akinskoye has run out of food, tens of thousands of soldiers are empty, and if in ten days, how many people will survive, we will not be able to control it! ”

Faced with Gu Weijun's threat, Molotov was immediately speechless, if the Feng army directly defeated Akinskoye, China and Russia would either fight or talk. Russia may be a little more relaxed. However, the Feng army did not completely solve these soldiers, and when they had taken care of them, they had to shrink back, and Molotov fell into passivity from the beginning.

"Ten days is simply not enough time for peace talks, if the Chinese side cannot cease fire in advance. The safety of these soldiers will be threatened, and we will lose the premise of negotiation. I hope China will adopt a more pragmatic approach. ”

Gu Weijun said: "I have a proposal to get the best of both worlds. The Russian side ordered all the soldiers of Aginskoye to surrender their guns and hand them over to the Chinese side, and we guarantee their personal safety. If the negotiations are reached, they will naturally return to Russia, and if they can't reach a ......"

Speaking of which. Gu Weijun sneered and stopped talking. Now Russia still has a certain ability to resist, and if it follows Gu Weijun's method, it will completely become meat on the chopping block. There is no hope.

But if they don't agree, these Russian troops will definitely be completely finished, and even if peace talks are reached, these Russian troops will not be able to go back. This trick can be described as extremely vicious, Molotov's face was red and white, very ugly.

"Mr. Gu, I ask for a suspension of negotiations."

Molotov immediately turned around and said goodbye, making tens of thousands of people lay down their arms, such a big thing as the honor of the country, which he could not easily agree, so he had to ask Moscow for instructions.

As soon as Molotov returned to the hotel where he was staying, the Feng army sent two Russian officers early, both of whom were captured by the special operations unit of the Feng army.

Molotov hurriedly inquired about the situation in the city, and the two officers wept bitterly, the city was already miserable, there was no food and ammunition, medicine and drinking water were seriously lacking, and the wounded could not be treated in any way, so they could only wail and wait for death.

Two days earlier, one of Zuihou's war horses had been eaten, and these war horses were Budyonny's favorite Don hippopotamus, which was literally his life, his son, but he had to kill these horses with his own hands. However, horse meat is limited after all, and most soldiers can't even get a little broth.

The longest thing the Russian army has done is to rummage through the ruins, hoping to find something to eat, and occasionally they will find a bag of food, which is great happiness. In fact, what they often find is corpses, decomposed and deteriorated corpses, crawling with maggots.

The Russian army, severely tortured by starvation, had already begun to eat carrion on the corpses, and Molotov shuddered when he heard these descriptions. It was clear that the Russian army was in danger of collapsing at any time, and he had to send a telegram to Moscow, asking Moscow to allow Budyonny and them to lay down their arms.

Like the peace talks, this demand was hotly debated, and Lenin gave them the final word, allowing them to surrender.

Three days after Molotov arrived in Borgia, Budyonny and the others finally received the order to surrender, and the nightmarish battle was finally over. All the Russian soldiers came out of the rubble in a daze, relieved the moment they handed over their rifles to the Fengjun.

Prisoner of war camps are bad, but at least they are much better than hell on earth. There were more than 50,000 besieged Russian soldiers, and after the attrition of the battle, when the guns were surrendered, only about 35,000 remained. All the Russian commanders, including Budyonny and Voroshilov, also became prisoners of the Feng army and were put in prisoner of war camps.

Although the negotiations between the Feng army and the Russians were carried out in secret, tens of thousands of people surrendered, and the war that had been burning for several months was completely over, and it was impossible to hide it from the well-informed media.

Soon the domestic and foreign media began to report, especially the great powers, jumping up and down, they also counted on the Feng army to be able to share the pressure of Europe, who knew that the Feng army did not fight, it was really hateful.

But they didn't have too many good ways, so they could only desperately mobilize public opinion, and then constantly lobby officials and mobilize social elites, wanting to force the Feng army to continue fighting.

Playing everything twice, it is not enough to be effective, the great powers always jump out to agitate, Zhang Tinglan can't sit idly by, if they don't do well, they will deduct Feng Jun with the charge of fearing the enemy and avoiding war, obviously it is a big victory, but in front of the whole country, it has lost its prestige, which is not what Zhang Tinglan wants to see.

Fortunately, when the great powers began to play the war of public opinion, Zhang Tinglan was already prepared, and he specially selected a group of soldiers who showed valor in the battle from among the Feng troops who participated in the battle, and asked them to tell their personal experiences.

This matter was all handled by Shao Piaoping, these ordinary soldiers are not very high-educated, and there are times when they can't speak with words, but Shao Piaoping specifically requested that except for military secrets, nothing else should be changed, and the most real situation on the battlefield should be told to the people.

Since ancient times, Chinese have often been willing to focus on those generals, those military masters, and look at his vertical and horizontal affairs, as for the real soldiers, they are a supporting role, even to the point of dispensability.

But in fact, any battle is bought by the sacrifice of ordinary soldiers, and among all the people, ordinary people are still the vast majority, and the experience of these low-level soldiers is closer to their lives.

In these accounts, they knew that the recruits were terrified at the first killing; Knowing the sorrow of the veterans who experienced the sacrifice of their brethren; know the fatigue of sleepless days and nights; I know what it feels like to have a bayonet in the flesh when I fight with an enemy.

War is not a romantic thing, the battlefield is bloody and cruel, and it is not easy for the Feng army to defeat Russia and achieve a big victory. At this time, no matter what choice is made, as long as it is beneficial to safeguard the interests of the country, there is nothing to blame, and even the highest respect should be given.

As for the unrealistic clamor for war and the agitation to expand the results of the war, they are all dreams with ulterior motives and are not worth refuting at all.

In addition to speaking out in the newspapers, Shao Piaoping also arranged for a group of meritorious soldiers to give speeches at major schools. Everywhere the soldiers went, they were greeted with unprecedented warmth, not only by teachers and students, but also by the people in the immediate vicinity.

Most of these soldiers were ordinary peasants, and they had never seen what these institutions of higher learning looked like, and they were even at a loss in the face of enthusiastic students, and when they arrived at the high-profile podium, they all stumbled.

However, the students did not look down on them in the slightest, the wounds on their bodies, and the medals on their chests were the most haode symbols, these were iron-blooded men who fought for the country.

Shao Piaoping specially arranged a conversation session, everyone chose to sit on the playground, the students kept asking questions, these soldiers went to answer them, anything on the battlefield made them feel interested, and the soldiers gradually let go, telling them their most real experience, which also became the most haode national defense education class.

Young people were the most in-demand heroes, and these soldiers quickly became their idols, and not only schools in the three eastern provinces, but also schools in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places sent out invitations.

This was a good time to show the Feng army to the whole country, and Zhang Tinglan immediately ordered the formation of a propaganda group in the Guannai to introduce the situation of this war to the whole country.

First of all, the first stop is Beijing, when the soldiers of the Fengjun army appeared in a neat line to get off the train, a large number of people had already gathered on the platform, wanting to gamble on the demeanor of the Fengjun.

As early as three years ago, the Feng army entered the customs to deal with Zhang Xun, but this time the Feng army appeared in Beijing again, and the shock brought to them was completely different, they were covered with gunpowder smoke, revealing a solemn atmosphere, and at first glance it was a strong soldier who came out of the most cruel battlefield, facing them, everyone fell silent, silent.

Facing the welcoming crowd, these soldiers solemnly saluted, this simple and powerful action, quickly detonated the atmosphere, countless people cheered enthusiastically, clapped desperately, and the audience was boiling. (To be continued......)
